Lesson 73 The record-holder
Did the boy go where he wanted to?
Children who play truant from school are unimaginative. A quiet
day’s fishing, or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over
and over again, is usually as far as到……程度 they get.他们顶多到这种程度而已 They
have all been put to shame (put sb. to shame，使某人感到羞愧，使……黯然失色) by a
boy who, while playing truant(过去分词短语作状语，相当于一个状语从句while he was
playing truant.), travelled 1600 miles. He hitchhiked to Dover and,
towards evening, went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep. When
he woke up next morning, he discovered that the boat had, in the
meantime, travelled to Calais. No one noticed the boy as he crept
off. From there, he hitchhiked to Paris in a lorry. The driver gave
him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside
the city. The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the
centre of Paris as he hoped it would, but to Perpignan on the
French-Spanish border. There he was picked up by a policeman and
sen
t back to England by the local authorities. He has surely set up a
record for the thousands of children who dream of evading
school.

The boy who went across the border of his country while
playing trrant finally returned home. As he did not have enough
food to eat for two days, he got sick, cold and hungry. His parents
were worried about his safety while he was away, and they looked
for him everywhere. When they unexpectedly意外地met him at the
harbour, they got so excited and happy that they could hardly
believe their eyes. His parents’ reactions made the boy feel
ashamed 惭愧的of himself.
When the boy returned to school after playing truant for
several days, he was afraid he would be punished by the headmaster.
But all the boys gave him a hero’s welcome, and asked him questions
about his adventures冒险. And to his surprise, the headmaster
punished him by making him give a talk to the whole school about
